Growing up, I was very familiar with his name. I'd see Vidal Sassoon hairstyles in magazines and always envied anyone with slick and geometric hairstyles which would never suit my curly hair. Since then, I've grown to like my curly hair and I will continue to admire Vidal Sassoon for what he did to the hair industry.

I watched Vidal Sassoon The Movie a couple of months ago, a documentary about him that looked back at his life and career. The world has another original artist.
